James Rossi -- June 28th, 2021

James S. Rossi was interviewed by Andree Duggan on June 11th, 2021. He is the grandson of Serafino Rossi Sr., who emigrated from Italy at age 16 in 1906 and eventually farmed pears, peaches, plums, apricots, figs, and grapes on his 158-acre farm in Reliez Valley. James tells how his father, Angelo, who was a member of the first class that graduated from Acalanes High School in 1941, was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for his valorous service as an infantryman in World War II. After the war he returned to Lafayette and joined his brothers Frank and Serafino Jr. in operating the Rossi Brothers Furniture Shop near the present day Lafayette Park Hotel. Rossi Street and Angelo Street, as well as Hillside Terrace, are all located on land that was part of the original Rossi farm. For a complete transcript: https://lafayettehistory.org/oral-his...
